Proposal
Fell Sycamore (T4). Historically this tree was dual stemmed, however one of the two stems was removed removed near to ground level many years previous. The resulting wound is now heavily decayed leaving a major water filled cavity, potentially compromising the viability of the remaining stem and safety considerations. Replant with 1No. standard size 8-10cm girth Hornbeam within 2 metres of the existing tree. Fell Elm (T5). The tree is infected by Dutch Elm Disease. The virulent nature of the the disease means the tree will quickly die. Removal should be carried out at the earliest opportunity to restrict the spread of the infection. Replant with 1No. standard size 8-10cm girth Hornbeam within 2 metres of the existing tree. See photograph (Figure 1) of tree (August 2020) showing characteristic signs of Dutch Elm Disease.
